Re: Muscle car GT hood for a 68 C10 issue

Thanks or the input guys, The manufacturer is saying they never have any problems and that it must be my hood hinges but once again there is no real effort to open or close the hood that would result in the hood kinking at the hinge area. Any recommendations for another brand that does fit? Finding oe metal is almost impossible in NY. And as I mentioned, I have used aftermarket metal many times and have had to spend hours massaging the part but this kinking thing is a real problem. It fits in the opening well but the sheet metal seems flappy/thin and it looks like the welds at the hinge area were not hot enough to penetrate allowing the sheet metal to bear the burden instead of the under hood frame/structure.
